What the G7 Is

The G7 is the Group of Seven advanced industrialised democracies: the United States, Japan, Germany, the United Kingdom, France, Italy, and Canada. The European Union also participates as a non-enumerated member at G7 leaders' summits. The G7 emerged from finance-minister meetings in the mid-1970s and was formalised as a leaders' summit format in 1975.

Russia joined as a member from 1997 (making it the G8) and was suspended in 2014 following the annexation of Crimea, returning the format to the G7. There has been no reversal of that suspension. China and India have never been members, despite their large economies, because the G7 is by definition a club of advanced, industrialised, market-economy democracies.

The G7's share of world GDP has fallen materially. In 1980 it was over 60 percent. In 2000 it was around 65 percent at peak (helped by the US dot-com boom and a strong dollar). By 2026 the share has fallen to around 44 percent, primarily because of the rise of China, India, and other large emerging economies. The G7 remains the most economically powerful informal grouping in the world by per-capita measures, even as its aggregate share has declined.
